It has done something it has not managed since the cycle peak, which is closing above the 100-day MA and breaking out of a long-term descending channel that contained the entire bearish trend.<\/p>\n<p>The move comes alongside strong daily RSI readings, a successful retest of the breakout level on the 4-hour chart, and an on-chain supply picture that explains precisely why the road ahead gets harder from here, and why it may be worth it anyway.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart<\/h2>\n<p>On the daily chart, BTC has been pushing toward the higher boundary of the mid-term ascending channel after reclaiming the 100-day moving average, which has descended to the $72k zone. The RSI is climbing toward 70, showing consistent bullish readings while still leaving room for follow-through, as an overbought state has not been reached yet.<\/p>\n<p>The immediate test remains the $80k supply zone, which has capped the price on every approach since February. A clean daily close above this area would open the path toward the $90k level, with the 200-day moving average also in the way near the $85k mark. On the downside, the lower boundary of the current zone at $75k is now the first line of support to defend, followed by the 100-day moving average located just below this level.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1436062\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-1024x596.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-768x447.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-1536x893.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-2048x1191.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-90x52.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-150x87.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-2000x1163.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-1600x930.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-1400x814.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-1200x698.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-1000x582.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-900x523.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-800x465.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-700x407.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-600x349.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-500x291.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-400x233.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-200x116.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-100x58.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>BTC\/USDT 4-Hour Chart<\/h2>\n<p>The 4-hour chart shows a textbook post-breakout structure. The asset broke above the $75k level, pulled back to retest it, which is labeled explicitly on the chart, and has since pushed back toward the $79k region with the RSI also climbing above 60, showing a clear bullish shift in momentum. The structure is clean, and the retest adds conviction to the move.<\/p>\n<p>The upper channel boundary and the $80k psychological level are converging as the immediate ceiling. A 4-hour close above the recent highs near $79.5k, with the RSI also holding below the overbought region, keeps the bullish structure intact and targets the $82k-$84k supply zone above. In case of any pullback, the $75k area can prove critical again, as it\u2019s the major nearby support level on this timeframe.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1436061\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-1024x596.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-768x447.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-1536x893.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-2048x1191.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-90x52.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-150x87.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-2000x1163.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-1600x930.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-1400x814.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-1200x698.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-1000x582.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-900x523.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-800x465.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-700x407.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-600x349.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-500x291.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-400x233.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-200x116.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-100x58.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>On-Chain Analysis<\/h2>\n<p>With 64.2% of Bitcoin\u2019s circulating supply currently in profit, the recovery from the February low has made meaningful progress, but the remaining 35.8% underwater tells the more important story. The bulk of that loss-making supply was acquired between $80k and $125k during the late 2025 distribution phase, meaning BTC is now entering the price range where a large cohort of holders approaches breakeven, and the incentive to sell intensifies.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, crossing the 75\u201380% supply-in-profit threshold has marked the point where correction-driven overhead pressure meaningfully subsides, and momentum can sustain. The current reading of 64.2% confirms that the threshold has not yet been reached, which explains why the $80k\u2013$90k zone has acted as such a stubborn ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>Each push higher converts more underwater holders into profit-takers, but it also reduces the pool of forced sellers, and if the price can clear $80k, the supply-in-profit curve could accelerate rapidly toward levels that have historically preceded the next significant leg higher.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1436060\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--90x51.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--2000x1125.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--1400x788.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--900x506.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bitcoin-Supply-in-Profit--100x56.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-analysis-btc-closes-above-100-day-ma-as-bulls-eye-breakout\/\">Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC Closes Above 100-Day MA as Bulls Eye Breakout<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin is trading at $78.3k as the first weekend of May opens.
